The channel is licensed by Ofcom and powered by the App:Play platform, the channel uses unique simulcast technology to transmit real-time video content to players, providing an unmatched, rich and collaborative gaming experience. The channel has launched on Facebook and is also available as a downloadable native app on popular mobile platforms including iOS and Android.

Henry Bennett, MD at CashPlayTV said: “CashPlayTV ushers in a new age of Participation TV by broadcasting and focussing viewer acquisition on social networks and mobile devices. Not only this, but by integrating with existing payment solutions on these platforms including Facebook Credits, in-app purchases, PayPal and SMS, the easy-to-use gaming experience provides players with an easy way to enter quizzes and a quick way to collect their winnings.“

Today also sees the launch of a £100,000 digital marketing campaign to promote CashPlayTV across multiple platforms. Mobile app developers are a key part of the distribution of the channel as they will be able to embed CashPlayTV into their own applications and take a cut of all revenue generated as a result. Developers will be eligible to earn up to 40% of all money played.

CashPlayTV is powered by the App:Play platform, a fully customisable white label platform allowing broadcasters and other media publishers to quickly deliver Participation TV apps on social networks and mobile devices. It is the first multi-channel platform designed specifically for running video content on these channels supported by Participation TV formats including quizzes, gameshows, polling and voting.
